Devanahalli Faecal Sludge Treatment Plant (FSTP)

Bremen Overseas Research and Development Association (BORDA) and CDD Society

Purpose

FSTP for safe treatment and disposal of sludge collected in septic tanks and pit latrines in Karnataka, India

Activities

Based on the need and interest of the town for setting up of appropriate faecal sludge treatment facility for safe disposal and resource recovery options several meetings were held among the project stakeholders – political leaders, community leaders, government, organizations working in Devanahalli linked to sanitation, and farmers to discuss and plan for the Project. The key stakeholders for the Project were Devanahalli Town Municipal Council (DTMC), Consortium for DEWATS Dissemination (CDD) Society and Bremen Overseas Research and Development Association (BORDA). Currently we have constructed an 6000 l/day capacity FSTP plant which has been operational since November 2015.

How to work with the Filter panel

Filter operations

If you tick two options within one filter parameter, then this is treated as an "or" search, meaning either of them could be true. But if you tick two filters for two different parameters then this is treated as an "and" search, i.e. both parameters must be true to return a result. If anything is unclear about how the filter and search combinations work, just contact us: info@susana.org

Combined country filtering options

You can run the country filter for the projects by clicking on "Select countries". However, if you want to combine the country filter with another filter parameter, then you need to operate the “apply filter” button twice: You need to firstly filter by country, then secondly filter by the other filter parameter(s) (or vice versa). To run the filter you need to click on the "apply filter" button.

Function coming soon

At the moment, not all functions and hyperlinks are available. We will implemented this functionality within the next few weeks.

We ask for your understanding.
